What We Believe

We at First Baptist Church of Waukesha are a community of Christians from different racial, ethnic cultural and denominational backgrounds. Upheld, sustained and redeemed by God's gracious love, we are united as brothers and sisters by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord. We believe that God calls all of us to be ministers and witnesses to the liberation, forgiveness, healing and new life available through Jesus Christ as revealed to us in the scriptures.
In order to live out our commitment to Christ, we covenant together


To gather regularly in praise and worship of God - to dedicate ourselves to the growth and nurture of our spirits in personal prayer and meditation and to strive to hold ourselves open to the direction of the Spirit for our lives and for our church.

To care for each other in Christian love - remembering each other in prayer, helping and supporting each other in illness or crisis, trusting each other's integrity in our work together and seeking reconciliation in all our conflicts.

To participate in the mission of the church - through support of global efforts and active involvement in local ministries.

To be faithful stewards - responsibly caring for the earth and the church by using and sharing all of the resources available to us; including income, time, skills and talents.

To teach and guide by example - participating in and supporting the educational offerings of the church, nurturing our children as they grow in the faith and encouraging adults in their faith pilgrimage.

To live faithfully in the world - being just and kind in our speech and actions, seeking to be peacemakers and striving to be loving and honest in all that we do.

In addition, if we should move from this area, we will seek to unite with another church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant.
